Factors affecting the pattern of macrophyte distribution in natural lakes [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
This study investigated 14 lakes situated in the Borecka Forest, and the analyzed data covered a period of 10 years. The examined water bodies are aquatic ecosystems at low risk of eutrophication, characterized by a good qualitative and quantitative status. Four factors explaining 68.3% of total variability in the analyzed natural lakes were identified: morphometry - use of catchment area (mean depth, max. depth, area covered by forests and farmland), 2 - water chemistry (TP, TN, chlorophyll a), 3 - lake/catchment area (lake area and catchment area), 4 - bog woodland (percentage cover of bog woodlands in the lake catchment, and pH). Those factors supported the determination of the effects of the type of lake and pressure factors on macrophyte parameters and species distribution patterns in lakes. The variables applied in the CCA ordination plot explained around 79% of total variability in plant distribution patterns in the studied lakes. Bog woodland (lambda=0.37, p=0.02, F=2.36) and pH (lambda= 0.29, p=0.02, F=2.09) were statistically significant parameters (Monte Carlo permutation test, p<0.05) which explained 16.3% and 12.8% of total variability in plant distribution patterns, respectively. In natural lakes, macrophyte distribution models are determined by lake-type-specific variables, and based on the adopted criteria, the results of the analyses supported the identification of lake groups which are habitats of the Natura 2000 network with classification codes 3150, 3140 and 3160.
